The year is 2112. The world's population has been wiped out, leaving behind only Hybrids, shadows of what human beings once were. Left unharmed by the fallout of the Last Great War are eight people who are struggling for survival, trying to avoid their pasts and forge new beginnings: A Drug Addict, an Army Captain, a Killer, a Deaf Boy and his Sister, a Southern Bayou Deadshot, a Hopeless Optimist, and a Prostitute.
